Noah

Noah (2948 BC-1998 BC) was the tenth and last of the pre-Great Flood patriarchs. The son of Lamech, his father said that he would rise from the cursed ground and relieve humanity from work and toil. At the age of 500, he fathered Shem, Ham, and Japheth. One hundred years later, God decided to destroy all life on Earth with a great flood, having seen humanity's evil. However, he favored Noah, and told him to build an ark and to bring his family and two of every living species on the ark with him. After a 40-day flood and months of waiting for the waters to recede, the inhabitants of the Ark were able to return to dry land, and Noah made a covenant with God, who swore that he would never again attempt to kill humanity. Noah would go on to become the first tiller of the soil and a drunkard, and, as he lay naked while passed out, his sons covered him with a garment after Ham told his brothers of their father's nakedness. Noah decided to curse Ham's son Canaan by making him a slave to his brothers, and he lived for 350 more years before dying at 950 years.
